The Artist (Formerly Known As Prince) - The Gold Experience
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in 1993, but it wasn't
until 1995 that he actually released a record credited to that symbol. During
those two years, he released a greatest-hits collection, an official version of
his much-bootlegged Black Album, and a final Prince album, the lackluster
Come. Throughout 1994, he pressured Warner to release another album, The
Gold Experience, but the company refused and he staged a public protest in
the media, calling himself a slave to the label. By the summer of 1995, the
artist and the company had made amends and the record was released in the
fall. In a way, The Gold Experience lives up to the manufactured hype created
while it languished on the shelf. More of a creative rebirth than a change in
direction, the record finds Prince and the New Power Generation running
through a typically dazzling array of musical styles, subtly twisting new sounds
out of familiar forms. Much like The Love Symbol Album, it follows a loose
concept, interweaving a variety of pop, funk, rock, soul, and jazz styles into a
vague story. Song for song, The Gold Experience is slightly stronger than its
predecessor, as Prince's melodies are more immediate, especially on the Philly
soul tribute "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" and the pure pop of
"Dolphin." Also, the band's performance is lively and confident, bringing an
effortless virtuosity to funk workouts ("P Control"), and fuzzed-out rockers
("Endorphinmachine"), as well as ballads like "Eye Hate U." The Gold
Experience is somewhat weighed down by interludes that attempt to further
the story but wind up interrupting the flow of the music, yet that doesn't stop
the album from being Prince's most satisfying effort since Sign O' the Times.
